It is a somewhat rambling 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a variety of projecting sections, gables, and porches typical of the late Victorian Queen Anne period.

Notable features include a round corner turret, steeply pitched roofs, and a variety of exterior sheathing.

The interior is as ornate and elaborate as the exterior, with well-preserved woodwork from different types of hardwood in each downstairs room.

The house was designed by Phillip Van Patten and built in 1884 for his brother-in-law, Dr. Harvey Prosper Ellsworth.
